5-0 out of 5 stars Gets better every time
I was on the Amazon site looking for MORE books by David Lucas and decided to review Halibut Jackson. I've read a lot of reviews but was never motivated to post one..until now. This book is great!
4-0 out of 5 stars Really Nice Little Book
Really cute book with beautiful illustrations.Very funny premise.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it seems kind of short--even compared to other pre-school picture books.But my 4-year-old daughter has enjoyed it very much.

5-0 out of 5 stars A very fun, creative, different book!
We already love this book! My son loves to find Halibut Jackson on each page and it has a sweet message about not being afraid to be yourself. A keeper! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Tingleberries a Hit with 5th Graders
I am a 5th grade teacher and I just finished reading this book aloud to my class.They could hardly stand for me to stop reading each day.It was a valuable resource for asking the students to predict what the next chapter would hold, for reviewing previous events, and for introducing them to figurative language.The chapter titles are great discussion starters as well.Humorous characters, interesting vocabulary and just a plain good story with a few suprises make this a great book to use at 4th, 5th grade levels.We are hoping the author will write a sequel!

5-0 out of 5 stars A great review from the kids in Miss Vasell's class
The book, Zucchini, was an excellent book.Zucchini had a great personality. We liked the author's message that you should follow your dreams and have courage. We especially liked it when Miss Vasell cried at the ending.We also liked that Zucchini was very honest and went back and let out Arnold the Crow. This is a great book for reading group.

5-0 out of 5 stars Zucchini
A wonderful book. Even though some of the facts are wrong about ferrets in this book eg. fer's don't eat carrots,grain and don't befriend birds. Its is a wonderful story and it shows great character.4-0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book For All Ages!
I first read this book when I was about ten years old.Its sense of longing for love and belonging not just in Zucchini, but in the boy Billyas well makes this book a perfect companion for all of us who have at onetime or another been a lonely, scared child in a big scary world.The bondbetween the ferret and the boy is quite touching, and will warm even thecoldest heart.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A good story marred by puberty - ain't that how it goes?
Our 14 year old narrator Anna recounts the story of her life.When Anna was a young girl she was tiny and loved to hide.She was so tiny and so good at hiding that only her immediate family knew of her existence.Outsiders and neighbors either did not know, or believed that she was an imaginary friend of her sister's and that her mother only played along to humor the sister.So, when 7 year old Anna, a carpentry whiz, modified the giant victorian mansion where she and her family lived, and disappeared completely to live in secret passageways all through the house, no one noticed.
2-0 out of 5 stars Different strokes for different folks
I think that different readers are going to react very differently to this book.That conviction makes it difficult to know what to recommend.
3-0 out of 5 stars Intriguing premise, poor writing
Rendered nearly invisible by her painful shyness, Anna is the middle girl of three sisters living with their mother in a rambling Victorian home. Traumatized by the impending threat of school, at seven years old she retreats into passageways and secret rooms of her own construction, and lives within the walls of her home for the next seven and a half years. Anna is content to hide away, nearly forgotten by even her family, until her own growth as a woman renders her 'invisibility' no longer possible. A stray love note pushed through the walls of her refuge appeals to her developing emotions, and the time approaches for Anna to once more venture into the outside world.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fair example of literature which aims for fair-mindedness.
It was the great literary critic Northrup Frye who said that most of western literature has the bible as its source.The children's book, Snuffles Makes a Friend has a resemblance to the biblical story of Noah andwhere the lion and the lamb lived together without the lamb being consumed. We all know that polar bears are powerful creatures yet in Snuffles Makesa Friend, Snuffles, the polar bear, is a vegetarian.Snuffles prefersraspberry tea and sweet potatoes to meat.The issue of social anxiety isalso raised in this book as Snuffles makes friends with her next doorneighbor Percy the Penguin, the latter being quite shy.This book isbeautifully illustrated and printed on durable paper.It is a fair exampleof literature which aims for the facilitation of social interaction amongits young readers and fair-mindedness towards neighbors. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Book
This book was quite good, and Christopher is a very sweet and shy character. Some really funny incidents in the book as well. And watch out for corny lines. But overall, it is a very good book.

4-0 out of 5 stars different.....
This book is good although I don't really like these books.You can always predict what is going to happen. It was a good book(the words Michael said were stupid)but,hey,it's good otherwise. END4-0 out of 5 stars Different from the rest though it is nice to have a change.
Christopher MacAvoy is basically just a poor cowboy compared to his neighbour, Roxana Maslow. Both of them are attracted to each other but Christopher has problem opening his mouth whenever Roxana is around him. So he gets help from a cocky and irritating guy, Michael Serrano who provides him with endless romantic poems and quotes. It's nice to see that for once the guy is poor and not the normal tall, dark, handsome and rich, perfect guy in this story. Although the love poems do sometimes get out of hand at times and it makes you wonder what an idiot this guy, Christopher must be to take the bait from his so called friend. Has quite an unexpected ending though pretty predictable in some sense. Read it if you really want to have a change of environment. ... Read more
